ARCHIVES: PAST ISSUES OF PREPARED FOR SUCCESS REPORT

WHAT IS PREPARED FOR SUCCESS?

PREPARED for SUCCESS (PFS) is an annual study conducted by the College Sector Committee for Adult Upgrading (CSC). It examines the postsecondary outcomes of students who have moved from upgrading programs to full time postsecondary programs at their colleges.

HOW LONG HAS THIS STUDY BEEN CONDUCTED?

The PFS study has been conducted annually since 2001, or 20 years.


WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF PFS?

The purpose of this study is to document the positive impact that academic upgrading has on the success of students who enter postsecondary programs.


WHAT HAS THIS STUDY SHOWN?

Every year, PFS has shown that individuals who have received prior training in college academic upgrading programs:

  • achieve high marks in postsecondary programs;
  • have the necessary commitment to complete their education; and
  • make the right program choices (low rate of program change).
    Academic upgrading programs continue to provide thousands of dedicated, well-prepared, successful students to Ontario’s public colleges.


WHO PROVIDES THE DATA FOR THIS STUDY?
All 24 Ontario public colleges are asked to participate each year.
